Operation Enduring Treason

Operation Enduring Corporate Treason

Bechtel

Bechtel has tried to be beneficiary of privatized water supply in Bolivia. When they got control of the water supply, they raised prices on water. The law crafted for Bechtel by corrupt local leaders even made it illegal for people to collect rainwater. Democracy Center article. ThirdWorldTraveller.com story.

The now-defunct FoodAndWaterWatch.org used to say:

"In Bolivia, South America’s poorest country, angry residents in Cochabamba kicked out Bechtel in 2000 after eight months of highly problematic service and severe rate increases which left people unable to pay for water. Licking its wounds, Bechtel filed a $50 million lawsuit (for claims of lost future profits) against the government of Bolivia in the World Bank court called ICSID (International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes). Bechtel had made investments for less than $1 million. The case was settled in 2005 giving a significant breakthrough in a court where the corporations usually win. Faced with protests, barrages of e-mails, visits to their homes, and years of damaging press, Bechtel executives finally decided to surrender, walking away with a token payment equal to thirty cents. This retreat sets a very important global precedent. The international support from activists like you has helped to make this victory possible!"


Bush, George W.

Although George W Bush is not a corporation, he and Dick Cheney have acted as servants of many large corporations that desire to ...

-get free money by paying little or no taxes
-control regulatory agencies directly by having Bush
-appoint their executives to lead those agences
-make a killing (no pun intended) on war profiteering
-make a killing in the anti-terrorism security bonanza
-pollute with impunity

George W Bush is the grandson of an American Nazi, namely Prescott Bush, who aided the Nazis in their rise to power and after WWII, he sent Nazi money to exiles in South America. Karl Rove is the grandson of a German Nazi.
A few of Bush's wrongs

His new John Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007 supposedly gives him control of the National Guard and lets him use them to kill protesters or others who oppose his government.

His new Military Commissions Act of 2006 lets him declare whatever US Citizens he chooses "illegal enemy combatants", at which point he can take them away to prison, torture them and even kill them. In section 948a, it states:
(ii) a person who, before, on, or after the date of the enactment of the Military Commis- sions Act of 2006, has been determined to be an unlawful enemy combatant by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal or another competent tribunal established under the authority of the President or the Secretary of Defense.

His government now says that as of mid-January 2007, US Citizens will need the government's permission to leave the country and to re-enter.

Conspiring successfully to steal the election of 2000, thanks largely to his brother and governor of Florida Jeb Bush who prevented 50,000 Democrats from voting, and Catherine Harris who destroyed ballots.

Conspiring successfully to steal the election of 2004, thanks once again to his brother and governor of Florida Jeb Bush who continued to prevent 50,000 Democrats from voting, as well as Republican operatives in other states, particularly Kenneth Blackwell, Ohio Secretary of State and co-chair of the campaign to reelect Bush in Ohio, who rigged the vote there. Bush was also helped by Democratic governor Bill Richardson in New Mexico (he's an ex-oil exec), and last but not least by his cousin John Kerry's eagerness to declare defeat before the votes were even counted.

World to Bush...


Your administration lied about the existence of WMDs in Iraq as a pretext to invade. The "Neo-cons" wanted to invade Iraq as far back as Clinton's presidency and have stated their desire in writing on several occassions.
His administration lied about a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
He removed most of the environmental regulations of the past 30 years.
9/11:

He and Dick Cheney conspired in 2001 with numerous well-placed people (including probably his brother Marvin Bush, Marvin's company Securacom (now Stratatec), the military, the corporate media and presumably the CIA) to stage the terror attacks of 9/11. Physical evidence from the WTC complex crime scene, despite Rudolph Giuliani's destruction of most evidence, shows that thermate (an explosive) was used to sever supporting columns in the Twin Towers as well as in WTC building 7, resulting in controlled demolitions of those buildings on 9/11. Of course, these attacks were blamed on Muslim bogeymen and on ex-CIA agent (still an agent?) Osama bin Laden, who together serve very effectively as the new Lee Harvey Oswalds. Video of professor Steven E Jones discussing evidence from WTC site.
He has perpetrated numerous attacks on the US Constitution thanks to his "Patriot" Act, which should more properly be called the Bush's Treason Act.

Bush has used "signing statements" to ignore the will of the US Congress on numerous occasions. He pretends to accept a bill, then adds statements saying that he reserves the right to ignore or reject the law in question.

Bush is guilty of condoning torture, not only in Guantanamo but in no-longer-secret CIA prisons.

Bush's people "outed" CIA agent Valerie Plame allegedly because her husband rejected the idea that Saddam Hussein bought yellowcake uranian in Africa.

The failed Iraq invasion, which has pushed petrol prices up by 100% or more in just 5 years, much to the joy of Bush's friends the Saudis, Bush's friends the oil industry, and which has made war very profitable for Bush/Cheney's friends at Halliburton and other military contractors.

Corporations

"The West is now on a similar extremist ideological path [to communism]; the difference is that we are captive to detached and unaccountable corporations rather than to a detached and unaccountable state."
- David Korten author of When Corporations Rule the World

....
Operation Enduring Treason marches on with a lame congress devoid of statesmanship, courage or class, and a criminal presidency. Republican and Democratic senators and congressman continue to rubber stamp the most criminal presidency in the history of the United States of America. The difference here is that the American people KNOW what the Bush administration is ..they cannot help but know - WHEN will they stand. When?
